MSC_ID: MSC_AG3_Survivor_Smart_Bots
Supports MSC_AUTOLOAD.
This is the 28th test script that runs on the Master Script Controller.

This script improves the survivor bot AI. It is currently over 10,000 lines of code and over 250kb of data. It currently stands as my biggest l4d2 vscripts project as of this writing.
Improved Accuracy.

Chat Commands:
/bot_defib – Tells the survivor AI they can revive nonhuman players as well for the next 60 seconds.
/bot_pour – Tells the survivor AI they can beginning attempting to pour gas rather than dropping it near nozzle area.
/bot_precisionmode <value> – Tells the bots to use precision mode between 0 and 100. (Resets to default value on round restarts and map changes.)
/bot_fail – Tells the second chance bot system to trigger mission failure.
This is a very large script that I’ve been working on for quite a while that is based on my old l4d1 Smart Bots sourcemod plugin.

Keep mind this script is in alpha and is subject to change. Currently not much can be done with tank. Bots will still activate their stupid mode when a survivor is incapped. The script uses a tick think style to override aiming, This means that sometimes the game will override where the bots are looking making them shoot randomly in the wrong direction. A higher bot_precisionmode value can help in these cases.
Delta bounding is a new less effective algorithm to the previous (Delta Precision Algorithm), but fire can have 32+ deltas and comparing (insectswarm_count * 8 Deltas by SNBD * area_range) + (inferno_count * 32 Deltas by SNBD * area_range) caused the game to freeze for short intervals when bots calculated safe paths. Delta bounding only changes when the Deltas change count. Sadly this means the bots will still sometimes take damage getting out of danger areas.
The Smoker Tongue Targeting Algorithm currently has an issue with calculating smoker tongues with more than one bend point. This is a netprop vscripts limitation and I’m told by developers the issue will be fixed in future game updates. After the issue is fixed, I can finish programming the survivors to shoot at the whole tongue with multiple bend points.
Also keep in mind this script has to run a lot of background processing algorithms very rapidly for each survivor bot, Weaker systems may experience slight fps drops.
